WHOO SHEM!
Somizi dishes the dirt in saucy tell-all book
MZANSI’S TV and radio personality Somizi Mhlongo (aka somGaga) got tongues wagging about his recently released memoir, Dominoes: Unbreakable Spirit.
This tell-all about his life, career and loves is said to name and shame.
The book is penned by Lesley Mofokeng, who also dropped jaws with Bitch, Please! I’m Khanyi Mbau.
Up until two years ago, his career reached a dip and just as fans and detractors were about to write him off and move on, he bounced back.
He was signed on as a new judge on Idols South Africa. Viewers couldn’t get enough of his diva-ish personality and his now infamous catchphrase, “Ooh shem!” He has weathered a few controversies. He, like many other high-profile celebrities, has suffered some foot-in-mouth setbacks on social media.
However, his popularity has cocooned him from any backlash.
Since his comeback, he has bagged his own talk show, Living
the Dream with Somizi, on Mzansi Magic, and in a shameless marketing ploy, his fitness video,
Grind with Somizi, is being punted on air. This brings us back to his book, which some have given the thumbs up and others not. Nevertheless, the book does address one big elephant in the room – his long-standing feud with former BFF Bonang Matheba.
The pair have reportedly patched things up since!
While Mhlongo was keen to make a few comments on his book and perhaps debunk a few misconceptions that are doing the rounds about it, he was too tired from the weekend’s partying at the Vodacom July. Sleep demanded his full attention.
The life of a celebrity! At least we can read all about it in detail in his book.
Sex, drugs and a rock ‘n’ roll-lifestyle – it ticks all the entertainment boxes!
